Former Dairy Farm
This 134 acre Starlight, Pa. abandoned farm is a gorgeous parcel of real estate and is located in Northern Wayne County, Pennsylvania, the “Wayne Highlands”. A longtime dairy farm, its location is next to the former O & W railroad depot, where they shipped milk by train. And you can see Starlight Lake, where they used to cut ice from the frozen lake surface in the wintertime. The 1800’s Federal style farmhouse is gutted and ideal to restore with modern utilities and conveniences. A massive 11,000 square foot dairy barn stands as prominently as the day it was built. Another 4 car garage with concrete floor, a 4-bay equipment shed and a cement block utility building complete the improvements.
Impressive Land
The 134 acres of land consists of mostly open meadows with patches of hardwood forest and a couple of stands of evergreens. Several of the high meadows have distant views and overlook the large spring fed pond that’s on the property. There is also a rushing mountain stream flowing through the land on the east side. An ancient apple orchard still remains on the hillside overlooking the pond.
A Rare Find
Not often do you find real estate for sale in Wayne County, Pa. like this one. With opportunities galore, maybe you bring it back to life as an operating farm? Another idea is to restore and live in the beautiful Federal style farmhouse that has a giant front porch. Hunting and riding atv’s would be ideal here, too. In the neighborhood is the Inn at Starlight Lake, perfect for lunch, dinner and drinks. Whatever you decide to do, this is a beautiful property to do it at.
